How to prevent visitors from touching your system

It’s amazing, no matter if it’s your friends or just anyone else walking into your listing room, what is the first thing that happens? They have to reach out and touch something. Like this is the first piece of real equipment they have ever seen. Has anyone else had this experience? What can be done to prevent this except posting signs or telling people every single time? Gets kinda frustrating.

Buy yourself some Covers.  Not affiliated, just a satisfied customer, Digital Deck Covers will make you anything you want.  Wouldn't surprise me, that they'd make you some custom fit covers for a pair of JBL 4350's.

 

Out of sight, out of mind.

Why i it a big deal. Music is to be enjoyed and shared…and everything can be repaired. Friendships and relationships trump stuff. Besides, I would rather them touch a vacuum tube and learn they can get pretty hot…and I would rather them touch an amplifier than an 80 year old painting…but again, its jsut stuff.

I stream most of my music and teach friends how to run the apps. They control the systems and have no reason to touch anything.  The housekeeper is an entirely different problem.  Ripped the stylus off of the phono cartridge with a cloth.

1)Don't you have a dedicated room?

2)Don't invite anyone over!

3)Display a sign that reflects your thoughts on touching your system!
